Kunstler BreweryTexas Tube FloatAmerican-Style India Pale Ale (IPA)3 | 6.5% ABV | 61 IBUOffered By: SANTA |
This IPA gets its character from British and German malts. It is malt forward and balanced with just the right amount of hops. Starts off with a nose of pineapple, big malt flavor enhanced with hops that give it a citrus and stone fruit flavor. Finishes nice and dry. Tube Float is an easy drinker on a hot Texas Day.

Kunstler BreweryBehind the CouchFrench-Style Biere de Garde | 8.4% ABV | 32 IBUOffered By: WESTEXANS |
Historically Bière De Garde was produced on the Belgium/France border, while Saison was produced on the Belgian side. While Belgians produced light, fresh and crispy drinks, the French produced something richer and sweeter. Belgians fermented their Saisons at warmer temps, producing spicy, crisp and peppy drinks, while the French found their yeast influence in the altbier and kölsch traditions, thus producing a libation of soft malt with some restrained sweetness. Bière De Garde was produced with a stronger alcohol content, so that it could be stored (guarded) through the summer months. My first Bière De Garde, was in collaboration with another homebrewer, Jeremy Banas a local beer historian and author. We brewed it in 2013, on a system unfamiliar to us, and let’s just say all kinds of things went wrong, producing lots of sweat, cursing, (maybe some tears) and a scorched wort. We bottled it anyway, and I literally stashed my share behind the couch, hoping I could forget the failed brew day. A year later, while drinking with friends, we tasted through everything I had on tap, and I was asked: “What else do you have?” Somehow I remembered the “behind the couch beer” and thought it would be good to at least try, maybe laugh about it, and then finally dump it. Long story short: I was almost sad that I had to share such a fine brew with anyone!
